Full Course: https://study.iitm.ac.in/es/course_pages/CS1102.html Video Overview In this lecture, you will dive into bash scripting loops and master the use of conditional and control statements in Linux. The session explains how to use if, elif, and else statements to handle complex logical conditions, and how to apply the case statement for efficient pattern matching. You will also learn about for loops, including their C-style syntax, and how to redirect loop outputs to files for organized data handling. The lecture demonstrates the use of break and continue for managing loop flow, and introduces shift for argument processing along with exec for replacing the current shell process.
